Translation
Which measure creates social security in Germany?
- A health insurance ✓ Correct answer
- B car insurance
- C building insurance
- D liability insurance
Explanation
In Germany, social security is provided through the statutory social insurance system, which includes health insurance, pension, unemployment, accident, and long-term care insurance. Health insurance is a core pillar of this system, unlike private insurances such as car, building, or personal liability insurance.
Tips
- Look for terms tied to the statutory social insurance system (e.g., health, pension, unemployment, long-term care, accident).
- Eliminate options that are typical private/property insurances (car, building, liability), which are not part of the social security framework.
- Recall the welfare state principle: state-organized protections focus on health, income security, and care, not asset protection.
